Difference between revisions of "Aemilie"

'''Aemilie, the Eleusian weaver''', is the most prominent of merchants in the forestal village of [[Eleusis]]. The flaxen-haired [[Siren]] can often be found within a hollow of a huge oak in the lower of her two small shops, ''Silver Threads''. Items for sale include journals, archery supplies, and a number of containers. The entrance to her gallery, ''Art of the Wilds'', is also located nearby, where visitors are able to purchase wooden decorations such as birdhouses and statuettes.

:A sheaf of fine parchment has been bound with an exquisite leather cover. Left a natural tan hue, the outside is rubbed with oils to preserve the quality of the leather and enhance the grain. A detailed map of the continent of Sapience sprawls across the front and back, embossed directly into the leather and highlighted with dark ochre dyes. The endpapers of this journal contain smaller maps of the outlying islands and northern villages, as well as the known extra-planar regions and a few notes on their exploration. Attached to the spine is a long leather strip which serves as a bookmark, embossed with the image of a water lily.

:This journal is a magnificent work of Eleusian craftsmanship. Its covers have been covered completely in silver leaf, and the emblem of the Goddess Demeter has been set into the front cover in miniature emeralds. Silver hinges hold the journal together, and it has been filled with silver-coloured parchment. It is truly a beautiful thing to behold.

:This beautiful journal has been fashioned from stained cherry-coloured leather. Pressed into the leather are a plethora of leaves as they have fallen from Eastern Ithmian trees in the autumn. The entire spine of the journal has been glazed over with clear wax, and it is held together with burnished bronze hinges. Filling the journal is a stack of crisp cream coloured parchment, each edged in gold foil.

:Tooled from fine Eleusian leather, the covers of this journal have been dyed a deep forest green. Images of Sentinel companions can be seen embossed on the cover - the fox, the butterfly, the badger, the wolf and the raven all surrounding the lemming. Burnished bronze hinges hold the volume together, which is filled with copper-coloured parchment edged with bronze foil.

:Thin strips of young white oak are bent and woven around each other in a symmetrical pattern, forming a square basket. The bottom is reinforced with a thin, flat piece of oak and lined with a white linen cloth, perfect for holding anything from fresh blueberry pie to a bouquet of fresh flowers. A white satin ribbon with the words "Silver Threads of Eleusis" printed upon it is tied to the curved handle.

:A dark leaf pattern is stenciled over the deep green canvas of this durable pack. Crossing over the chest is a single strap, lightly padded for comfort, which allows the weight to spread evenly across the back. Sewn to the front of the pack are a series of small pockets, obscured from view by a large flap which folds down and is secured by simple wooden toggles. The result is a smooth, unobtrusive profile, the ideal match for a forestal ensemble.

:This magnificent leather scabbard is crafted from fine boar's leather of a rich brown hue, conditioned to a slightly reflective sheen. Appliqued to the surface is a pattern of green ivy leaves, the piecework stitched on with precise handiwork. Worn over the back, several adjustable leather thongs are designed to wrap over the shoulders, under the arms, and across the chest, ensuring that the sheathe stays comfortably in place when a weapon is drawn.

:A sturdy piece of buckskin has been dyed a deep green hue and shaped into a quiver to be slung over the shoulder. The precise, even stitching along the seams is reinforced by an inner casing of tough rawhide, with extra padding at the bottom to cushion sharp arrowheads. An exquisite rendering of a mature oak tree is inked in dark brown on the outside, its branches spreading over most of the surface.

:White polished oak wood crossed with a silvery iron bow form this elegant lightweight crossbow. Detailed vines are painted in green ink on the white wood. Elegant in design, but with an undeniable deadly power to propel arrows.

:The long slender shaft of this arrow is the shade of dark green that best blends with the forests, making it nearly invisible in natural surroundings. The arrow head is chipped obsidian honed to a razor edge, and the fletching is well-balanced and bleached white, so that it easily takes dye.

:Carved by hand from rich mahogany, this lifelike wooden squirrel could easily fool a hasty observer. The deep grain in the wood follows the contours of her body, every detail from her sleek fur to her delicate whiskers incised with precision. With her bushy tail held aloft and bright eyes of polished obsidian, she clutches protectively to an exquisite acorn carved of oak.

:A large piece of redwood, aged to a dignified grey colour, has been handcrafted into the form of an adult grizzly bear. Resting comfortably at his sides are his massive forelimbs, set with a gleaming pair of authentic claws. His eyes gaze intently ahead of him as he stands proudly upon his back haunches in a deceptively relaxed stance.

:The subtle tones of maple are a perfect accent for this exquisite carving of a duck-billed jambaali. Even the fur on the bear-like creature is detailed with the utmost care, looking startlingly real from only a few feet away. In his paws he holds a dried honeycomb, and an intelligent expression is carved into his gentle face. The wood has been conditioned with honeycomb wax to preserve it, emitting a delicate fragrance and giving a rich sheen to the piece.
